Basic Clothing for Free Spirit

The first clothing patterns I'm going to upload for the Free Spirit Amigurumi doll are for two different bodices and underwear. With these basic patterns, you can make tops, pants, dresses, just about anything. The two bodice patterns have instructions for making combinations (a type of underwear that combines the top and bottom, hence the name).

The doll and outfits are outstanding. Your crochet work is like art. Where do you get the cotton crochet yarn? The colors you used look so warm and comfy. They go together to make such adorable garments for the beautiful doll. THANKS for sharing! :o)

I don't know what kind of body the goodfellow doll has, but if it is slender like Blythe I think it would. You would want to check the fit as you crochet; make sure the bodice fits well around the torso and that the crotch is not too short. Good luck!

Thank you for your response. I just finished the bodice and i think it will be too big for the gf doll. i will redo because i really want to make this jumpsuit, it is just so cute! i do have a question, after bodice is done, the pattern says next to ch 35, is that from the bodice or should i finish off.

Dear Beath,I find decorate you magnificent, and I congratulate you sincerely on your creations. I translated and picked for the moment 2 of your modèles and I would like to know if I can share my translations on a forum or still on my blog, with those who as do not understand me English. I am sorry, not speaking English usually I use an on-line translator. Still bravo and thank you for your great models.Friendly Mary Lou

Thank-you for your kind words :-) You may post translations of my patterns on your blog, all I ask is that you retain the design credit as belonging to me. In fact, thank-you for asking me for the permission.

You are talented!. Thank you for share your patterns for this doll. I could not figure out the side to side bodice after the ch 35. What do I do with the ch 35 on each side? It did not look as nice as yours. You are good.

About Me

Welcome! My name is Beth and I live in the Midwest of the United States. I was 12 years old when Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon. I would have been an astronaut, but my fear of heights has kept me grounded :-) Instead, I became a Mechanical Engineer and worked in industry for many years. Now I design and make soft dolls; a passion I've enjoyed since my Grandmother first taught me to crochet.
